Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 30-day all-cause mortality

    the 30th day after patient inclusion in the study

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • In-hospital mortality

    through study study completion, an average of 2 years

  • Length of stay in hospital

    through study study completion, an average of 2 years

  • Length of mechanical ventilation

    through study study completion, an average of 2 years

  • Nosocomial infections

    through study study completion, an average of 2 years

Study Arms (2)

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in this group will receive Noninvasive mechanical ventilation as the initial mechanical ventilation (MV) strategy, irrespective of whether Invasive mechanical ventilation is used later during the following treatment.

Procedure: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation

Invasive mechanical ventilation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in this group will receive Invasive mechanical ventilation as the initial MV strategy, irrespective of whether Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is used later during the following treatment.

Procedure: Invasive mechanical ventilation

Interventions

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation will be delivered to the patient through a mask. The mask will be adjusted and connected to a ventilation system.

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation

Invasive mechanical ventilation will be initially performed by using the volume controlled mode, and could be adjusted to pressure controlled mode or other modes based on clinical situation.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult (18 years old ≤ age ≤ 80 years old) immunocompromised patients admitted to hospital with moderate to severe ARF diagnosed within the last 72 hours, which meets the indications for ventilatory support.
  • Patients are considered as moderate to severe ARF when the ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) is between 85 and 170 while the patient is breathing oxygen through a Venturi mask, or clinically diagnosed as the following:
  • mmHg \< PaO2 \< 50 mmHg on room air;
  • Clinical evidence of respiratory distress (intercostal recession, polypnea \>35/min or dyspnea at rest).
  • Patients are considered as immunocompromised when clinically diagnosed as at least one of the following:
  • HIV infection;
  • Hematologic malignancy or solid tumor under chemotherapy;
  • Solid organ or stem cell transplant;
  • Long-term (\>30 days) or high dose steroids (\>1 mg/kg/d prednisone equivalent) usage and/or any other immunosuppressive drugs;
  • Neutropenia (defined as a neutrocyte count of \< 0.50×109/L) showing for at least 48 hours

You may not qualify if:

  • Age\<18 or \>80 years old;
  • Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) \> 50 mmHg or arterial pH \< 7.20;
  • PaO2/FiO2 \>170 or PaO2/FiO2\< 85;
  • Patients have been treated with NIV or IMV within 30 days.
  • NIV is contraindicated or IMV is definitely indicated, including PaO2/FiO2\< 85, respiratory arrest, hemodynamic instability, inability to fit the face mask, pneumothorax, vomiting, development of airway bleeding, inability to protect the airway, or copious respiratory secretions;
  • Comorbided with other severe diseases, including New York Heart Association functional class ≥ II, valvular heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, implanted cardiac pacemaker, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cardiac surgery within the previous 3 months; systolic arterial pressure \<90 mmHg after optimal fluid therapy; history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma; impaired consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale score \<13); postoperative acute respiratory failure; pregnancy or breastfeeding;
  • Lack of consent, do-not-intubate decision, and any other situations where obvious bias are expected
